I enjoyed this mystery/thriller that started out with a murdered Swedish real estate agent/wife/mother and gradually led to the discovery of an international conspiracy involving the leadership of an almost-post-apartheid South Africa. I don't read a lot of mysteries, and I haven't read Henning Mankell before. I liked how the process of investigation was portrayed, in particular how small discoveries led to larger ones, or how coincidences led to failures to find or transmit information.

I can see myself reading another one of these sometime in the future!
